On Location: FCBD 2017 at Valhalla Games and Comic

The Comics Alternative is weekly podcast focusing on the world of alternative, independent, and primarily non-superhero comics. (There's nothing wrong with superhero comics. We just want to do something different.) New podcast episodes become available every Wednesday and include reviews of graphic novels and current ongoing series, discussions of upcoming comics, examinations of collected editions, in-depth analyses of a variety of comics texts, and spotlights on various creators and publishers. The Comics Alternative also produces "special feature" programs, such as shows specifically dedicated to creator interviews, webcomics, on-location events, and special non-weekly themes and topics.

For Free Comic Book Day 2017, Derek
visits his local shop, Valhalla Games and Comics in Plano, TX
to talk with customers and shop employees about the various FCBD
offerings this year. Joining him on this episode are Sabrina, the
shop manager, as well as one of her associates, Stephanie. But also
joining in on the conversation is a first-timer to the podcast,
Naheem, who just happens to be from Derek's hometown, Charlotte,
NC.
